S:Yes, I hope so. I need some more cash for my visit in France. May I cash a traveler's check here?
C:Of course you can. We'd be happy to cash it for you.
S:I was going to cash it at the hotel, but one of my friends said that banks always give better exchange rates. I'm a schoolteacher and I have to save every cent I can.
C:Well, any bank will cash it at our present traveler's check-buying rate, which we have listed here. Of course, our rate is somewhat better than hotels,they aren't really in the money exchange business although they will cash traveler's checks for their guests.
S:You mean there's really not much of a difference?
C:No, sir, not very much.
S:Well, may I cash these two checks for $100 each? I think that will be enough. But everything is so expensive in Paris that I might have to come back and cash another one in a few days.
C:Yes, I'll be happy to cash these for you. Would you mind countersigning them here?
S:There are you.
C:And will you please sign this foreign exchange request? I've already written down your name and address for you, but I will read your passport number.
